VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer: I Come In Peace!

Proverbs 20:9 KJV

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

On This Blessed Day, I Come In Peace For Peace With Peace! 

Have Mercy On Me Who Has Been A Perpetual Sinner! I Know This Because The Eternal Word Of Truth From The Truth Plainly Says That I Sin Every Day By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Please Pardon My Weakness Which Causes Me Not To Place A Leash On My Wayward, Often Wandering Thoughts Which Cause Me To Utter Unfit Words, Which Cause Me To Be A Willing Participant In Executing Ungodly Deeds! 

Please Forgive Me And Help Me By Helping Me To Use The Lock Of Righteousness Purchased For Me By Your Beloved Son Who Gives It To Me Because He Is The Life Of Every Man! 

Father, I Am Blessed With Light From The Light Of Life Who Is My Peace! 

Please Help Me Not To Weaken My Hold By Giving In To Ungodly Doubt And Lying Fear! 

The Word Which Is The Truth From The Word Who Is The Truth Has Promised Me That You Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake! 

Please Keep Your Word To This Worm Who Needs To Wash In The Cleansing Stream Of Innocent Blood, And Drink From The Water Of Life Daily! 

Please Open My Eyes So That I May See Wonderful Things In Your Words So That My Need May Be Satisfied, And I May Be Made Free Indeed Because Of My Jesus' Great Sacrifice For Me! 

Please Help Me Not To Despise The Unspeakable Gift Because It Is My Heart's Desire To Be Amongst That Great And Blessed Number Who Are The Few, The Called, And The Chosen! 

Today, Dear Father, I Use My Freewill, And My Freedom To Choose, To Choose My Lord Jesus To Be The Captain Of My Life! 

I Choose Today To Walk Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of Prince Immanuel Who Calls Me To Walk Wisely And Rightly, And To Stay On The Strait And Narrow Path To Glory! 

Father, You Have Promised Strength For My Journey! You Have Asked Me To Be Very Courageous: Strengthen Me For The Way That I Must Walk: I Am Weak! 

You Have Said That Your Strength Is Made Perfect When I Am Weak: Please Honor Your Word To This Trembling Flesh! 

Please Give Me A New Heart Now, Even As I Ask For The Holy Spirit To Come Into My Heart And Take Control Of My Life, And To Lead Me And Guide Me, Correct Me, And Comfort Me When I Stumble Or Fall Short Of Your Glory! 

Father, Please Pity Me! 

Help Me Today, Now, To Not Look Back At Babylon Or Covet The Beautiful Babylonian Garments Which Are Stained By And With Sin, And Lead To Destruction! 

I Beseech You To Help Me To Be Contented With Christ And His Gift Of Clean Garments Of White, Garments Of His Righteousness, Which Make It Possible For Me To Enter Your Presence With Thanksgiving And True And Honest Praise! 

Please Help Me To Worship You In Spirit And In Truth Because I Love You, Need You, and Trust Your Unfailing And Infallible Word Which  Works: I Trust In You: I Trust You! 

Please Bless Me Today So That I May Bless Another! 

Father, I Ask For These Few Mercies In The Matchless Name Of King Jesus Who, Alone Saves! AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Before And Before!?!

Hebrews 11:5 KJV

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 

Before! 

Not A Soul Responded! 

BEFORE!! 

The Class Started Whizzy-Whizzying! 

For You Young 'Uns, That Means Whispering! 

Bro. Checkup Checked His Roster And Checked Off His Head Count And Everything Checked Out! 

Alright, You Smart Alex! You're All Here, So Please Be Civil And Answer Your Name When Called! 

Bro. Checkup!?! 

Yes, Bramble! 

They Are Not Going To Answer Your Call Until You Call Them Individually! 

Who Is "They,"  Bramble!?! 

The Befores, Bro. Checkup! 

Bramble, Have You Been Sunbathing Without Sunblock Or A Sun-Shade!?! There Is Only One Before! 

That Remark Sent The Whole Class Into Hysterics To The Point Where That Rudifus Called Dingus Lost His Sense Of Decorum And Said Loudly: 

"Some English Teacher He Is Teaching Bible And Does Not Know That We Always Have Two Members Called Before In The Class Because There Are Two Befores In For-Real Life!" 

The Hysterics Died Instantly! 

Bro. Checkup Had Heard, But He Did Not Take Up Dingus' Mouth In Offense! 

Dingus, Would You Like To Take The Floor - Not Literally Take It Away - And Explain To All Of Us About Your Two Members Called Before!?! 

Gladly, Bro. Checkup! 

Brethren, What Does Before Mean To You!?! 

It Simply Means That There Is Someone Or Something In Front Of Me! 

Thank You, Onesimus! 

Yes, Caleb! 

Dingus, Before Also Means That Something Or Someone Was In Existence Before We Who are Currently Present Came Into Being! 

I'm Caleb But Old Testament Caleb Was Before I Am! 

Nicely Said, Caleb! 

Now To Make This Relevant To Our Christian Walk! We May Learn From What And Who Was Before We Are OR We May Choose To Learn From What Is In Evidence AND Not Become The Before For The People Who Are Behind Us! 

It Is All About The Usual Free Will And Freedom To Choose To Be Free In Jesus OR Be Free From Jesus And Be A Free-For-All For Satan And His Demon Horde! 

As For The Befores Who Are Here, There Is Before Belief And Before Destruction! 

These Two Are Wonderful Teachers! 

They Speak Truth In Righteousness For They Are Humble Servants Of And For The Most High God, Willingly Working In His Vineyards, Knowing That Time Is Short, And The Enemy Of Our Souls Is Roaring And Raging! 

Beloved, Be Wise! Before Us Aka In Front Of Us, Free To All Willing To Believe, Love, Trust, And Take Hold Of The Holy Hand, Is Life Everlasting, Available Today! 

Don't Forget To Humble Yourselves, To Pray, To Confess Your Known Sin, And To Repent Of What You Did Before Now! 

Before Us Aka What Happened Before We Were Thoughts Or Sparks, Before We Were A Participant In Time, There Were Those Showing Us The Way To Life By The Truth Of Almighty God AND Those Showing Us Life By Lies, By The Way Of The Adversary Of Souls! 

Please, In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous, Learn The Difference ... And Bless Your Own Soul! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Look At My Cross!?!

Matthew 10:38 KJV

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 

When Simon Of Cyrene Took Hold Of The Cross Of Christ, We Would Logically Think, Believe, Accept That It Was Because Our Blessed Savior Had Been Failed By Human Strength, And Needed "The Assist!" 

So What's Wrong With That, Ordaine!?! 

Not One Earthless Thing, Patsy! 

I Believe That We Need To Dig A Little Deeper For Another Nugget Of Truth! 

Jesus Had Said That If We Are To Be His Disciples That We Should Take Up Our Cross Daily And Follow Him! 

The Problem Though, Is That We Humans Hate With A Spiteful Hatred, Pain, Problems, Discomfort Of Every Sort, Experiencing Feelings Of Dread, And Fear Of Whatever Stripe! 

Jesus Paid For It All But ... Here's The Kicker! 

You See Simon Following After Jesus Carrying A Cross Not His But Still His, Bearing A Heavy Load Not His But Still His, And All Without Complaint! 

He Was An Outsider ... And An Insider! 

Bearing That Precious Burden For The Master That Was His Burden As Well, Was, Is, Instructive! 

The Weight Of The Cross That Simon Bore Was Nothing Compared To The Weight Sin Of All Mankind That Was On The Savior! 

What Simon Bore Was A Weight Of Wood! For Arguments Sake, Let's Call It A Deconstructed Yoke! 

I Like That! 

Jesus Said "Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn ... And Find Rest For Your Soul!" Aka Your Self! 

Nice Take, Toni! 

The Burden Of Sin, Which, Unconfessed And Unrepented Yokes Us To Satan, Is In Christ! 

The Inconveniences, The Sorrows Of This Life Are Ours To Bear Unless We Take Them To The Lord ... In Prayer! 

However You Look At A Cross, It Is Straight Pain, Pressure, Up And Down, And Side To Side! 

Pain Seeks Relief!

Pressure Seeks Release! 

All Need Jesus! 

Head Of The Cross Looks To The Foot Of The Cross Which Is Planted On The Lord's Footstool Aka The Earth! 

The Outstretched Arms Of The Cross Are An Open Invitation: Bring Your Cross, Your Light Affliction, Into The Forgiving Embrace Of The Lord Of Love, Of Life, Of Light, And Enjoy The Rest That You Need, That You Seek, That Is Freely Available ... And Free To All Who Seek After Christ And His Righteousness! 

Simon Of Cyrene Wasn't Seeking Salvation: He Got What He Did Not Expect, And His Life Was Forever Changed! 

He Assisted The Savior, And Assisted Himself, And Then Multitudes Down Though The Millenia Were Blessed By His Silent Yet Loud Testimony! 

Assist Jesus, Follow Him Without Complaint, Expect The Weight, The Curses, The Praise, And Share The Silent Witness! 

Heaven Hears! 

Heaven Sees! 

Heaven Records! 

Brethren, Please Make Sure That A Sliver Of The Cross Of Christ For All Mankind Has Your Name Written Upon It In Innocent-Blood Red ... In Acceptance Of His Sacrifice! 

Jesus Christ Saves So That We, To Sin, Do Not Have To Cave! 

Mine, Mine, Mine, Jesus ... Is Mine! 

Hallelujah! 

Sing To Jesus! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Shower!

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

... That Shower Irritated Me! 

But, Hanida, A Shower Is Supposed To Invigorate You, Not Irritate You! 

Well, You Tell That To That Spaugie Shower That Hammie Has In That Staycation-Wannabe That He Is Allegedly Operating! 

Now, Take The Word Of The Lord For A For Instance! That Good Word Invigorates, Stimulates, Educates, And By The Lord Jesus Who Alone Saves, Irradiates And Fumigates! 

You Forgot The Biggest One, Hanida! It Irritates And Makes One Irate! 

So, Tell Me Plain, Plessy, How Do You Expect To Get A Worthy Pearl Without Irritation By The Grain Of Sand Called Truth, And A Desire By You Aka The Oyster, Irate, Vigorously Attempting To Rid Itself Of That Misery-Causing Irritation!?! 

You, Humbled By The Lord's Good Grain Of Sand-Truth In The Inward, Most Sensitive Part, Seeking Known-Sure Relief, Reach For The Wonderful Counselor, The Great Physician, The Savior Who, Alone, Helps, Heals, And Saves, And By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth, Seals At The Day Appointed! 

For A So-Called Crazy Person, Hanida, You Make An Awful Lot Of Sense! 

Why, Thank You, Lancelot, But The Only Crazy That I Am Is In Love With The Lord Jesus! 

Some People Don't Like That But That's Their Circus And Their Elephants To Clean Up After! 

The Lord Jesus Cleaned Up Me And My Mess And All It Cost Me, If You Want To Get Technical, Was CRA! The Naysayers Added On The ZY! 

Hanida, You Never Told Us About That Or What The CRA Stands For! 

C And R Are Confession And Repentance: That Stopped The Irritation! 

The "A" Was Acceptance Of The Lord Jesus Christ's Unspeakable Gift Of Life In Him To All Who Believe, And Do So By Willing Obedience! 

Call Me Crazy: I Call It A Pleasurable Privilege! 

Man! 

No, Dodi! It Is The Lord Jesus! 

I Hear You, Hanida! You Speak Truth! 

Yup, I Speak Jesus! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Clean Heart!?!

Philippians 2:12 KJV

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 

I Love The Lord! 

So!?! 

I Need The Lord! 

And!?! 

I'm Not Ashamed! 

Big Whoo Hoo! 

Sooo, Camilla, You Seem To Have A Problem With Me Having Made Jesus Christ The Lord My Choice ... My First, Last, And Only Choice! 

Yes, I Do, Daliah! Every Time You Open Your Old Foolish Mouth, All We Ever Hear Is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Like You've Got Him On Your Mind! 

Well, I Do, Ms. Camilla, And You Should, Too! We Are Living In Serious Times ...! 

... And Thaaar Sheee Blows! 

Who Is Blowing, Camilla!?! 

Bro. Leeder!!! We Didn't Hear Or See You Come In! 

Don't You Mean That YOU Didn't Hear Or See Me Come In!?! 

Oh, Umm, Oh, My! 

Nice Retort, Camilla! 

Brethren, It Is Apparent That Even Though We Are All Here Because We Call Ourselves Christians, And Are Allegedly Following Our Master, Jesus Christ The Lord, Wherever He Goes, Some Of Us Are Not Performing True To The Class! 

Bro. Leeder, What Does "Not Performing True To The Class Mean!?!" 

Good Question, Olivia! 

Listen Up, Beloved, And Make Every Effort To Internalize What I'm About To Say! 

Scripture Tells Us About The Galatian Church Being Easily Swayed, And Apostle Paul's Stern Rebuke Calling Them "Foolish" And Calling Them Back To The Old Waymark AND THEN Efficiently And Effectively Cursing The Wicked Ones Who Had Been Teaching Them, If You Will, To Seek Satisfaction in Sin! 

But There's No Satisfaction In Sin, Bro. Leeder! 

True, Radica, And We Should All Have Learnt That Hard, But Necessary, Lesson By Now! 

We Are Also Told In The Scripture Of Truth About The Berean Church Who "Searched The Scriptures To See If These Things Were So!" 

Dahlia, By Working Her Daily Gift Of Faith, Is Performing Like The Berean Church! Those Faithful Few Fervently Followed The Prescription Which Camilla, By Her Harsh Words, Is Seeking To Tear Down! 

Camilla, I Heard Everything That You Said To Dahlia To Her Face Today, And I Also Read Your Vile Remarks Posted ...! 

... But, But ...! 

... You Thought That That Post Was "Private" And Shared Amongst Like-Minded Discontented And "Progressive Christians" Who Believe That "Depending On That Jesus For Everything Is Highly Overrated!" 

Bro. Leader, Please Don't Share Anymore Of That Post! 

Why, Camilla!?! 

You Were Very Proud Writing And Particularly Pleased Sharing It, So Why Can't We Share It Here ... Amongst True Believers To See If We Need To Dispense With @RealJesusChristIsKing And Put On @RealAnotherJesus And Imbibe @RealAnotherGospel As You Sooo "Loudly" Commanded In Your Sooo Very Popular Post To The Numerous Malcontents Who Follow You! 

Bro. Leeder, Please Don't Shame Me Like This! 

Shame You, Camilla!?! 

We Are True Believers In Jesus Christ So We Don't Go About Shaming People Even If They Have No Problem Shaming Us! 

Our Task Is To Show People The Way To Life Through Our Example ... And The Word Of Our Testimony! 

We Have No Need To Play The Shame Game! Shamers Have That Monopoly And They Are Free To Have And To Hold It From This Day Forward! 

Camilla, Only Jesus Christ Is Love, And He Alone Saves! Please Forget The Gaslighting, The Likes That Aren't Lovely Or Profitable, And Get Back To The God Who Calls You To Life Eternal, The God Who Loves You Personally! Lean On Him And He Will Lift You Up! 

Ms. Dahlia, I'm Truly Sorry For Mistreating You! 

Apology Accepted, Camilla! 

Dear Lord, Please Forgive Me Of My Trespasses Against Your Holiness, And My Wandering Into Folly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Lover!?!

John 14:23 KJV

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

Mavis Straughn, Get Out Of My Face Always Talking About Your "Lover" That Not One Person Has Ever Seen You Out With, Or Who Has Ever Broken Voice With Anybody Here! You Are A Regulation Liar So Do Us All A Favor And Bless Your Behind With A Hard Sit Down! 

Kareless Harpin, You Do Yourself The Favor And Quietly Take A Load Off Your Feet, And Listen To A Few Home Truths!

Before I Start, Please Put On Your Peepers Because Your Eyesight Is ... Well ... Dim! 

Brethren, Our Dear Sis. Kareless, Is Operating Under A Misapprehension When She Says That I Do Not Have A Lover! 

She Doesn't Know The Half Of My Story But, Today, Here And Now, She Will Hear The Half That Has Never Been Told! 

I Have A Lover! 

He Doesn't Just Desire My Body: He Touches Me Body, Mind, And Spirit, And When I Can't Feel Him, I Trust That He Is Near To Me Because He Is Under Me, Over Me, Behind Me, Beside Me, And Before Me! 

Beloved, He Touches Me In Places I Didn't Know I Had, And He Leads To Rest Beside Still Waters For Real, And Makes Me Lie Down In Green Pastures To Rest In Perfect Peace ... In Him! 

I Have Never, Ever, Been So Loved, So Satisfied, So Provided For In A Relationship In My Life! I Think About Him, And I Find Myself Smiling To Myself! 

Because Of Him, I Now Know What Happiness Is ... And What It Means! 

Can You, Any Of You, Remember A Relationship Or Are In A Relationship Where Your Lover Is There For You, Even In The Presence Of Your Enemies Without Your Having To Plead With Them Not To Start A Fight!?! 

One Day He Gently Told Me That "The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal!" Aka Not Manmade! 

My Eyebrows Flew Up And My Mouth Dropped Open! 

I Mean, What Else Was There Besides Insults, Bad Word/Bad Words, Rocks, Sticks, Knives, And Guns, And The Like!?! 

He Smiled And Lovingly Said: "The Living Word Works: Speak Peace!" 

That Closed My Mouth And Opened My Understanding! 

He, For Me, Was A Keeper! 

He Loves Me Beyond My Human Understanding, And Because I Desire To Know Him In All His Beauty And In His Glory Because I Truly Love My Lover, The Lover Of My Soul, We Walk Through The Word! 

You Know, He Sent His Spirit, His Holy Spirit, To Teach Me, And Lead Me Into All Truth, And Bless God, I Am Living In Love With The Only, The True Lover Of My Soul! 

I Need Him And I Don't Care Who Knows It! 

His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

He Comes To Me Whenever I Call And, Best Of All, Our Relationship Isn't About Giving And Getting! 

It Is All About Being ... Being There ... In The Moment ... Present ... Involved ... Active! 

He's Everything To Me! I Love Him! 

His Name Is Jesus Christ, Lord ... To The Glory Of The Father! 

I Pray For Each Of You A Lover Like Mine! 

Thank You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Doubtful Food!

John 6:57 KJV

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 

... Food Indeed! Drink Indeed! Cleansing Flood! To Whom Do These Pertain!?! 

Yes, Minnit! 

Bro. Drumm, Those Statements All Point To Our Blessed Jesus Who Said That His Body Was Food Indeed And His Blood Was Drink Indeed! His Precious Blood Is The Cleansing Flood By Which We, Willing, Are Made Clean! 

Very Good, Minnit! 

Now, Brethren, Having Covered All That, Tell Me, Please, What Is Doubtful Food!?! 

Doubtful Food!?!!! 

Yes, Doubtful Food! 

Bro. Drumm, I Believe That I Can Shine Some Light On That Question! 

And Who Might You Be, Stranger!?! 

That Is My Name, Bro. Drumm, And Some People Also Call Me Pilgrim! I Answer To Either Name! 

Say On, Pilgrim ... Stranger! 

Brethren, You Heard My Names: All Of Us Who Call Ourselves Christians, Committed Christians, Should So Be Called! But, To The Point At Hand: Doubtful Food! 

As Minnit Said, That Jesus Said, His Body, His Flesh, Is Food Indeed! Think About This: How Often Do You Eat!?! 

Once, Twice, Thrice A Day ... Plus Snacks ... For Most Of The Population!?! 

How Long Does That Food Last Aka Comfort And Sustain You!?! 

Come On, Pilgrim! We Eat Food At Least A Couple Times A Day, And We Eat Food Every Single Day ... Because We Need It, Have It ... And, Truth Be Told, We Desire It! 

My Name Is Liberty! I Am A Free Agent And I, Liberty, Can Use My Liberty To Do Whatever I Want To Do, Including Eat Doubtful Which, Truth Be Told, is Lawlessness, Which Is A Sin! 

Brethren ... Beloved, Liberty Makes An Astute Point, And I Ask This Question: Why Would You Sin Against Your Own Soul And Live Off Stale Food When The Living Word Of Our God Is A Grand Buffet Of Daily Deliciousness For The Blessed People Of God To Bless Themselves Continually!?!

 The Answer Is, Should Be, We Wouldn't! 

Beloved, Take A Minute And Listen To The Silent Drum Calling You, Reminding You That As A Stranger, A Pilgrim, You Must Use Your Liberty To Eat The Good Food Of The Word Constantly ... Daily! 

Doubtful Food Makes For Doubtful Deliverance! 

The Lord Provides For Us Daily So We Should  Eat His Good Food Daily! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget: YOU Are What YOU Eat! 

Lord, Help Us! 

He Will!!! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
